Euphranor

Euphranor was a general of Egypt at the time of the Final War of the Roman Republic. Shortly before the Battle of Actium, he argued with Mark Antony over strategy, saying that the Egyptians should fight on land, not sea. Antony bitterly retorted that he would decide to fight "wet" instead of "dry", and he told Euphranor that he could tell Cleopatra herself the "thousand reasons" why the plan would not work; he then informed Euphranor that he was relieved of his battle command.
